With this object in view I take the ingredients set forth in the following table and mix them thoroughly together in the proportions set opposite: wood-pulp, three parts; flour six parts; E tian ac uer, one part; liquid 5 water one part.

Instead of any of the above ingredients I may employ an equivalent thereof-that is, I
